Crazy

CRAZY

(An Acrostic)

Casting aside normality,

Roaring with silly laughter!

Acting without civility!

Zapping each fly you're after!

You've found the answer to living grey!

Wish I could be brave and live life your way!

QUEUING!

A word well-known to the British but Americans say 'line'

So 'Queue Here' would be useless if written on a sign!

I think it started in The War, when there was little food,

And pushing to the counter was considered rather rude.

And here we see a quite pathetic Evacuation Queue,

As little children stand in lines, not knowing what to do.

The expression on the girl's face says it all, it seems to me:

'Where are you Mum?' her eyes say 'I'll be brave as I can be.'

Gas-masks at the ready, one suitcase (one allowed)

Little children swallowed-up in a very alien crowd.

They couldn't really understand that a World War had begun.

(I know all about it....... I was one.)
